The doctors of The Hemorrhoids Centers of Los Angeles (Beverly Hills, Newport Beach, and Huntington Beach) are specialists in treating and removing internal and external thrombosed hemorrhoids.

Thrombosis medically means “blood clot” and it can either partially or absolutely block blood flow both in and out of the hemorrhoid.

Symptoms, causes, and the Proctologist’s medical treatments between the two types of thrombosed hemorrhoids are very different.

My visit with the Doctor Maz at The Hemorrhoids Center of Newport Beach was one of the best I’ve ever experienced! He was very knowledgeable and charismatic. He was able to lighten the mood about my hemorrhoids. I felt totally comfortable having him perform my surgery. I’m very relieved and impressed with the results! His excellent skills resulted in a very clean and scar-less outcome! It was very important to me that I had an excellent aesthetic result. I would recommend Dr. Maz to anyone I’ve also now scheduled a colonoscopy with him because I am so confident in his exceptional work! ~Vitals
